I am often asked for a copy of this rider, but not asked for booking very often afterwards. Is it too much? I don’t think so either, so what would you add to it?

ON-SITE STAFF
Dumb client is urged to ensure that all personnel are alert and of a professional attitude. Any autographs or photo request BY PEOPLE SUPPOSEDLY ON THE CLOCK are frowned upon. Venue employees hanging out with no apparent job or making out with girlfriends or boyfriends is not cool in the presence of a professional like me and when people are paid to be working.
